EMILY WILKE
BRING BODY OF MISS WILKE HERE FROM CANADA
A telegram to relatives this morning announced the death of Miss
Emily Wilke, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Herman Wilke of this city,
at Toronto, Ontario, Canada, where she had made her home for less
than a year. A few days ago the parents were called to the Canadian
city by a telegram informing them of the serious illness of their
daughter and the message today said that they arrived too late,
that their daughter had died while they were enroute to her bedside
as fast as trains could carry them. The message gave no details but
said that the parents are returning with the body and they are
expected to arrive tomorrow.
Miss Wilke was born in this city and was 31 years of age. She attended
the local schools and after leaving school was employed in a number of
positions. She went to Toronto with a number of other local people
when the National Tinsel and Toy company opened its Canadian branch
late last year.
Besides her parents, she is survived by three sisters and one brother,
Mrs. Carl Meyer, Mrs. Harry Barnesen, Mrs. Ray Tewell, and Arthur Wilke,
all of this city.
